THE friends of the Stray Girls
Home held a meeting last evening
and took steps to place the movement
on a practical footing. The Home
will start out under the most favora-
BILE auspices, and when it has
been placed in successful operation
it will prove one Of the most benig-
nant philanthropical institutions ever
founded. What can appeal with
greater force to our humanity than
the noble object of saving young girls
from going wrong and restoring to
honest ways those who have erred :?
The very essence of the lesson taught
by the Master, when He bid
him who was without sin to
throw the first stone, is sought
to be carried out by those
who inaugurated this movement. 1t
is noble undertaking-one that will
not only confer widespread blessings
on those whom it will save from ruin,
but one that will reflect credit upon
those people who had the generosity
and the Christian courage to enter
upon a field Of charity heretofore
shamefully neglected. Elsewhere
we give report Of the action taken
by last nights conference, and list
of the subscriptions so far received.

A New Era for Our City.


The City Council have taken the
right course in regard to paving the
streets. They have required that
Main street, from Alameda to Third,
shall be paved with granite blocks,
and that beyond that TO Ninth street
it shall be paved with bituminous
rock. The latter is to be laid also
from Temple Block to Ninth street,
ON Spring. We are SO anxious to see
the work of paving our streets COM
menced and carried out that we
would hardly cavil at any kind OF
pavement that should be adopted.
The granite is, of course, good, du-
rable pavement. The greatest OBJ
lection to it is the noise OF vehicles
passing over it, and the fact
that it has tendency to
founder horces. The bituminous
rock pavement, as adopted, is,
on the other hand, noiseless and easy
on horsefiesh. The pleasure of driv-
ing over it is one of its strongest
recommendations. Whether this
pavement will resist the traffic upon
the streets of busy city, goes for
nothing in face of the fact that the
parties who will receive the contract,
agree to keep it in repair for five
years forss ssnothing, and for the sue
ceeding five years to keep it in repair
for five cents per square yard. The
original cost is PSI cents per square
foot. This figure is reasonable, and
certainly the conditions to keep the
pavement in repair are as favorable as
could we'll be demanded. We are
assured of good, practicable streets for
at least five years by this contract,
with the certainty, that after
wards, at very slight expense,
the streets to be paved will
be as good for all practical purposes
as the streets of any other city in the
Union. We have no patience with
the spirit that would cavil at any
proper arrangement the city may now
make,to inaugurate, on large scale,
the paving of the streets of this city.
But we are satisfied, from the expert
ence of other cities, and from the in
dubitable evidence of the expert
m ents in San Francisco with the
bituminous rock, that the Council
has adopted the very best pavement
it could have selected. One grand
desideratum is attained, and that is
noiseless streets and a surface which
makes driving over them pleasure.
Durability and cheapness is assured
beyond a peradventure by the
terms of the contract. We have
been for many years urging the paw
ing of our streets. We have written
ourselves blind in trying to stir up
our people to place the streets of Los
Angeles in line with those of other
ci ties, and now that we can see the
accomplishment of our object near
at hand, we would do nothing to i'm
pede the good work, even if the pro-
posed pavements were as inferior as
they are unquestionably superior.
We congratulate our people that be-
fore another winters rains shall have
a chance to turn our principal thor
oughfares into Serbonian bogs, they
will be covered with a pavement
that will render them impervious to
water and passable to vehicles.

THE returns in the office of the Sec
retary of State show that amendment
No. was carried by majority vote
of 1886. Several counties have failed
to send in their returns, and the Sec
retary of State WILL make out his
official certificate of the result with
out waiting longer. This settles the
matter, and hereafter cities having
ten thousand inhabitants and over
will be authorized to frame their own
charters.

public gaze. He is in effect a grand
state prisoner. He is forced to con-
fine himself in the strongholds of his
guarded palaces, under the penalty
of forfeiture of his life if he gives his
subjects a chance to pop at him. We
should say that empire and rule at
such a cost was a mockery and a de-

The Washington bee., 1887-08-20

prior to this meeting it Is said that
Rev. (?) Scott has been canvassing
for the presidency of the Union,
and boastfully asserted that he
would be elecied. At 3 3O'clOck the
meeting was called TO order, Hon.
Solomon G.. Brown, poet laureate
of the Philomathian Literary So
ciety, read poem, which he dedi-
Gated to Mr.. Hamilton, reviewing
his many excellent qualities and
his labors among his people. He
concluded by cOmplimenting the
secretary. Rev. w. j. Howard,
who is at all times welcomed aud
greeted by his hearers, made his
annu | report and turned over
to the sec'ty the money he had in
hand and asked to be relieved from
office. The people know when
they have good men, hence Rev.
Howard could not be relieved.
After the general order of exer-
cises, and reports of the supposed
retiring officers, the election for
president took place. Scott who
had been boasting of an easy vic
tory over Mr.. Hamilton, did not
receive one vote, not even his own,
which he would have casted for
himself, but he was ashamed.
Poor Scoot met with Waterloo and
concluded that selling record books
and discussing politics would be
more appreciated by those who
did not vote for him last Sabbath
afternoon. The Baptist Sunday
School Union is composed of Bap
tist Sunday Schools and has done
more good in the community than
all other denominations in the
city. Mr.. Alexander Hamilton the
reelected president is known by
all denominations and liked.

education. He is a ready talker
and logical debater. In speak
ing of the Virginia people, Mr..
Langston said that in no state
has he been would he want to be
better treated than in the state of
Virginia by both white and color
ed people. During his brief visit
in Peters burg, Mr.. Langston said,
that every attention was shown
his mother and father and in fact
the whole family. In speaking
of the colored people Mr.. Lang
ston said, that they must organize
and support their own enterpris-
es. The colored people have a
great future before them and he
believes that they should be like all
other organizations in this coun.
try, which will bring them upon
an equal footing.

Mr.. Alexander Hamilton, a
young aan of much executive a.
bility aad influence in this city
has been president OF the Baptis'
Sunday School Union for a num-
ber of years. 1t has been mainly
through his efforts that the Union
has become such a power in this

For some time there has been a
quiet opposition working agains
him by one, Rev.(O W. II. Scott,

A CARD.

A series of articles having been
published in the Bee charging a
certain department clerk with hav-
ing made the remark that, "Every
Washington woman had her price,
has been brought to my attention.
The name used in the charge, al
though faulty in autography, left
no doubt in the mind of the reader
as to who was referred to. A thor
ough investigation of the subject
has developed the following facts !:
w. G. Chase, the editor of the Bee
asserts that Mr.. Henry Johnson
told him that | made the remark,
and up0n his information only,
was the charge published. Mr..
Johnson's letters upon the matter
are printed in another column. In
addition permit me to say, | have
never spoken one word against the
women of Washington to any hui
man being in my life; and in future
should any one speak disparaging-
ly of, or maligning the people OF
Washington, put the assertion
do Tn as a base SANDER, and he or
she who asserts it, vile Liar.
